Embrace Of The Lucifer

Chapter 46



Chapter 46

The Christmas holiday was close, some of the girls who worked there already received their letter of

approval for the holiday break. She did not know if Lucifer allowed them to leave for Christmas break,

or if Ela was in charge of things like this. Although, she did hear Ela talking to Lucifer last night over the

call. She did not mean to eavesdrop, it was unintentional.

They were standing in the kitchen, talking to each other. They were happy to finally be able to leave for

their home after a very long time. For a moment, she thought of her previous Christian holidays with

Caroline. August's face lit up in a bright smile thinking she would be seeing her very soon. She could

not wait! Christmas without family is displeasing, this is the day families spend time together without

any fights or disagreement and she wished to spend all her Christmas with Caroline.

"Oh my god! I cannot wait to go back to my parents!" Squealed Yuna. She was the first to get her letter

of approval. August did not understand this bizarre rule of Lucifer's house. They all had to write a letter

to him to get his permission. This happened when he was out of the house. Alexa was also approved to

go for the holiday. The girls were happy and could not wait to go. August also wrote but she did not get

her response yet. She was a little fret a little, but then Alexa told her that Isabelle also did not get yet,

and everyone got at least a few days of vacation during Christmas. She calmed down a little hearing

that from Alexa.

All of a sudden, her phone's notification sound caught her attention. She took it out from her dress

pocket and observed there was a message from Vanessa. She smiled and read her message.

"Pre-Merry Christmas, August! I miss you so much! How are you?" She thought to call her directly

instead of replying to her back with a text, hoping she would be free at that moment.

She departed from the kitchen and dialed her number and waited for her to receive. Thankfully, she

received it.

"Hey, hon! I didn't expect you to call me at this hour. Are you alone?"

"No but it's fine, the maids are talking about their holidays." She responded.

"Oh yeah. We also got permission from Mrs. Knight and she gave us a week of leave!" August was

happy for her friend. How she wished they also got a week to spend time with their family. But, knowing

how Lucifer was, she was happy to know she would be going home anyway.

The two friends talked for another ten minutes and Vanessa told her about everything that has

happened in her workplace. August found out that Mr. Knight and his son Nathan had a massive

argument a few days back and since then they both did not even sit at the same dining table, let alone

talk to each other.

"August!"

She flinched at the sudden screech from behind her. She turned around and saw Ela standing in all her

glory with her seethed eyes piercing into her skin. August immediately cut the call and put the phone

inside her pocket. She knew she was in trouble for chatting with her friend during work time and was

sure that Ela would seize her phone.

"How many times did I tell you that I don't like interruption during work time! You never seem to listen to

me, young lady." August instantly shook her head and opened her mouth to defend herself but she was

abruptly stopped by another voice. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Hey Ela!"

August felt nervous when she saw Ethan coming towards them. She did not forget what happened last

night.

The kiss.

It was so sudden and surprising, she could hardly react to his kiss. She just remembered pushing him

off and ran for her room.

August could tell that Ethan was feeling the same uneasiness around her. However, she did not dare to

look at him. Her eyes were only fixated on her feet.

"Oh hello, Ethan! How are you?" She asked him politely.

"I'm good, thank you. I wanted to tell you that I'll be leaving for home today. I've checked everything

here, all the bills and payments, everything is in order. So, I'm done with my work." Ela nodded her

head. They bid each other goodbye and Ethan did not say a word to August. Perhaps, he knew how

uncomfortable he made her feel, he did not want to ruin things between them anymore.

"Oh, and Lucifer told me this morning, he will be coming home soon."

Hearing this, August felt her whole world shattering down. She didn't want to see him. She was getting

distressed anticipating the worst from just the news of his arrival. Her gut was not disagreeing with her.

What will happen this time?

************************************************

"Boss, where do I keep him?" The guard questioned the young man standing by the window, a

cigarette between his index and middle finger. His lips touched the filter of the cigarette, blowing on the

poisonous paper stick, his eyes were closed and he inhaled a distinct amount of unhealthy black and

exhaled the rest of the smoke. The whole room smelled of ash and tarnished air.

He pressed the burning paper of the cigarette on the ashtray, destroying the little stick of poison, and

ceased the smoke coming out of it. Turning around, he confronted the man he was looking for for a

long time. The two well-built guards were holding the already damaged body of his prey. He smirked.

That vicious smirk could bring anyone down on their knees and beg him to have mercy on them. But,

he was not merciful, was he? Did anyone think they could steal from the devil and get away?

He took long strides towards the man and stopped just inches away from him. The man was badly

beaten, his eyes were swollen and hard to open to see his predator, his white-collar shirt was stained

with blood all over, and when the devil looked over this prey's hands, he was satisfied seeing the man

missing two of his fingers.

Just like he wanted. Just like he commanded the guards to do.

"Do you feel the pain of missing your fingers, Leo?" The injured man only groaned in pain and nodded

his head, because if his predator did not get any response from him. He will be killed immediately with

no mercy. But, what was the point of living anyway? He was not less than dead.

Lucifer reached out for Leo's hand and stabbed it with the pen he took out from his pocket. He cried out

in pain. The pain was too much to tolerate.

"You stole what's MINE from this hand. I should've just ordered to have your hand cut off, or just kill

you. You're lucky that I let you live." He gritted out.

The only mistake Leo committed was stealing a big amount of cash from Lucifer when he trusted Leo

with that money. It was supposed to be sent to his house, but Leo made it up that it got stolen. Was he

an ignoramus? How could he think his boss would not find out about the truth. Not only he stole from

Lucifer but also lied to him. The two things he hated most.

But, Lucifer did not consider Leo's side. He belonged to a poor family and he needed that money for his

son's school fees. Lucifer did not care. He never cared for anyone besides him.

He backed away and stood there without saying anything for a few minutes.

"Take him to the basement. Keep him there for a few more hours and then let him go." The guards

nodded his head and pulled the man out of the room.

Lucifer's ruthlessness was not a surprise to anyone. He took after his foster father, Lucian. He was the

carbon copy of Lucian. His heart was filled with nothing but darkness. He was nothing but a Devil.

************************************************

Thirteen hours, till he gets back to his house. It was already informed to everyone in the house by

Ethan that he'd be arriving soon. As much as he hated Ethan from the bottom of his heart, he wanted

to control his anger. He could not lash out at him over the call, he wanted to go there and teach both of

them a lesson.

He took a deep breath and stared outside the window. Nothing could be seen but the pearly white

clouds and the sparkling blue sky. He just got into his private jet, it would still take him some time, if not

thirteen, to get to his destiny. His other employees and assistant were sitting behind him. He called for

his assistant.

"Yes, sir."

"Did you call Adrian before getting into the jet?" He asked blankly, not removing his eyes from the white

clouds.

"Yes, sir. I did. He said he had already sent workers there and in two days, the whole penthouse will be

cleaned." Lucifer nodded his head and dismissed his assistant.

He could not stop thinking how bizarre those moments were for him. How his life, emotions, and

personality changes so much in just a few months? He questioned his emotions many times, he was

not sure what he wanted with her. Lucifer was not used to hearing "no" from anyone, August never

uttered this word, but the denial was written all over face and body. Her scared eyes always had a fire

in them, even though she never realized it, but she was a fighter. She fought him many times without

even knowing. Did he hate it? No. He liked it. He liked his feisty cat trying to fight her way out of his

grip. But, his grip was getting tighter day by day, neither she nor he could loosen it. It was too late to

lose the knot.

Because his string was attached to her.

*********************************************

The piercing sound of the shattering piece of vase woke him up from his unconscious mind, he looked

over his hand and saw blood oozing out of his fresh-cut skin. When did that happen? He could not tell,

he was too lost in his world of darkness.

The nightmares. They never stop, they never abandon his mind. Why? He did not have an answer to

his question. He had these nightmares since he was a little child, they never stopped. It was not so

horrendous when he was little, but as he grew up, his nightmares began to inimical his mind. It filled his

heart with nothing but darkness. The nightmares from his past clogged his life with dusk and darkness.

His clothes were drenched with sweat, but the humidity was not the reason. He took off his shirt and

threw it on the bed, beads of sweat glided down his hard muscles and his forehead, making his rock-

hard body glisten. Sitting under the air conditioner did not help me either, he decided to take a cold

shower. Grabbing his towel, he dashed to the bathroom and immediately stood under the cold shower.

He closed his eyes, trying to enjoy the cold water drops on his body, he pushed back his hair that was

coming in front of his face.

Thirteen years have passed. Thirteen years since he had those nightmares. Thirteen years since he

had left his past life behind. Thirteen years of his life as Lucifer.

Now, he was eighteen years old. An adult, an independent adult, will no more be dependent on his

foster father. He had grown up enough to cease the rules of Lucian. It was in the will when Lucifer will

turn eighteen, all the ownership of their company will be under his name. He will dominate it. He was

waiting for this day very patiently. Now, that he finally had, he was going to utilize it. He was going to

show everyone who Lucifer Knight was. All that time, it was hidden, no one knew the vicious things he

had done, he concealed it from everyone. But, did he have to do it now?

He disagreed. He was the king now, and he wanted to make sure he will always be.

Because the Devil has realized his worth.
